The 2019 Canadian Mathematical Olympiad (CMO) will be held on March 27th, 2019.

The CMO is a three hour competition, to start at 9AM local time in provinces west of Ontario (or if you are in Central, Mountain or Pacific Time Zone) or at 1PM local time in Ontario or provinces east of that (or if you are in Eastern or Atlantic Time Zone).

Students who choose to write the CMO agree to allow the CMS to publish their names and schools when announcing contest results.

Results and Prizes

Official results are posted in two divisions: (1) students competing within Canada (the Canadian division) and (2) students competing abroad (the International division). Actual scores are not displayed publicly but students will be informed of their own scores.

The Championship title, the Cup and the prize money are only awarded to students in the Canadian division.

Prizes (Canadian division only): If there are no ties, the First Prize winner in the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad receives the CMO Cup and $2000. In addition, the Second Prize winner receives $1500, the Third Prize winner receives $1000 and students earning an Honourable Mention (up to six students) receive $500 each. In the case of ties, prizes are pooled upwards.

Preparing for the CMO

It is important to emphasize that any student who is invited to write the
CMO should be aware that success will require mathematics at a higher
level than is taught in most schools, and therefore should prepare
specifically for the competition. The CMS has several resources available for competitors.
